Q: The browser I am using is Internet Explorer 7.0 at Windows Vista (with "Security" set at "Medium"). I get the message "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer" and then I have to click this message/bar in order to "Allow blocked content". After I do that the javascript menu script appears as it should, but of course I don't want visitors to go through that. FYI, I do not have the same problem with the dynamic menus on your website or in other websites, which appear normally right from the start.
A: You should adjust your browser settings.

and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

Q: Firstly I'd like to say it looks like a great product. Something that would definitely be of use for our corporate intranet. But first! I have a problem with the evaluation.
I'm trying to get a click/context menu from clicking an image but no matter what I try the following .htm file errors with object required on line 15. I've read your examples / source over and over again but no joy - If I just display the menu with the usual <script> menu.js etc. entry it works but not with a popup?
Please please help if you can?
PS I've set the popupMode variable to 1 in the menu definition file.
A: The installation of your Popup menu is not correct.
If you have only one menu on your page you should write
<img src='images/note.gif' oncontextmenu='return dm_popup(0 ,2000 ,event );'>
You should also copy dmenu_popup.js file into the same folder withdmenu.js file.
